    Looks like Atleti got an upgrade before shipping out Costa to Chelsea.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Angel Correa turns out to be better than Costa.

    Atletico have an amazing scout system, at least for strikers they do.

    Atletico's strikers are a trademark by now , Torress , Aguero , Forlan , Costa , Falcao and the list goes on.

    Fantastic review of La Liga's season. Well maybe only me and Norganon will read it but it's well worth a read for anyone (by Sid Lowe, one of the best football writers around in my opinion).

    Malcolm Glazier, owner of Manchester United (and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) has died at the age of 85.

    I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this, terrible for his sons to lose a father, but he's been a controversial figure ever since he took over the club.

    I always saw him as a controversial figure that people got around to forgetting existed >.<

    At the least a lot of the flak seemed to stop/slow down massively.

    So think anything will happen to you lot because of it?

    Depends on his will really, might be one of his sons or both in joint ownership. I just pray they're not the stereotypical billionare offspring that fight like vultures over the pickings.

    Oh yeah, not perfect by any means. Very divisive.

    No outright owner per se, just large shareholders like the mcmanus (irish race horse owners).

    What harm did shuffling the debt do?

    Also, curious, killed Garrosh on flex mode as a feral with my loot spec set to resto and I got 1 hander healing none heirloom and 1 hander healing heirloom, I thought the first heirloom was always the spec you played, not the spec you had loot set too?

    Well ,they weren't in debt before the Glazers started. So basically money that Manchester United makes go towards paying off the debt of buying Manchester United. 680 million pounds has gone to paying overdrafts and interest, money that had the Glazers not bought United should theoretically be in uniteds coffers. At least thats how my limited take on finances get.

    United got nothing out of it, the Glazers got a strong club whose buyout was covered by the club :S

    Sure, but the team haven't been harmed financially have they? Or has it limited their spending, or maybe profits of shareholders. I mean obviously it sounds bad and I wouldn't be surprised if it was, just wondered how. Maybe they got better interest rates so had lower debt because of the brand that is United, and so managed to pay off the debts quicker that way, which I suppose would be a smart thing to do for a shrewd businessman.

    Genuinely curious if people are pissed because of the harm it did, or because of a frenzy of non-information that looks bad at first glance but makes no discernible impact on pretty much anything.
